Back in Judiciary

and SB959 will be presented again, apparently. We're now considering SB69 (the eminent domain bill by Sen. Whitaker), but the sponsor has already notified the committee that he will not seek a vote. I have to run SB239, and there are a couple of other items to be presented prior to this bill being considered again.

Update: Rep. Woods moved "Do Pass" on SB959, and the bill failed on a voice vote. Rep. Breedlove was a yes but had to go back to his district this afternoon for a work related meeting. He was also tied up this morning running a bill in Education. He wanted to pair his vote, but that's not permitted in committee.

Update II: Chairman Robert Jeffrey considers this morning's failure to get a motion as the first bite of the apple and has removed the bill from the calendar.
